Manu for $14 million

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker only earns 3-4M more than this dude when TP is clearly twice as talented? Smh MVParker always taking discounts for the team. Spurs better pay him back with a loyalty contract once his current one expires.

[Keepin' it real]

Parker took a very team-friendly contract before this one so that the team could keep the Big 3 together. The team took care of him with this contract just like they are taking Manu and just like they waived Tim so that he could be paid the $6 million. Just the Spurs taking care of their players.

B-b-but that shouldn't apply to Parker because ... well, because we just don't like him.

It literally doesn't matter whether he made $7, $10 or $15 million as long as he was making more than his cap hold. Didn't impact ability to sign free agents.

Give me Manu and Dedmon 10x out of 10 over matching Boban.

[Beaverfuzz]

I think Manu's contribution will be bigger in the locker room and behind the scenes than on the court this year. And he'll be needed.

Sounds like an assistant coach to me.

[Beaverfuzz]

I don't know if that's allowed in the CBA. I think the owners saw a slippery slope when what's his name did that for Magic.

Offer at a discount, with some considerations. Once he's retired, he's not bound to that CBA anymore.

[Beaverfuzz]

How many of you calling him overpaid would have branded him a traitor for going elsewhere to get paid his market value when he was in his prime? He sacrificed money and his health to help win 4 rings.

Not a traitor, that would have been smart negotiating by his agent. Your worth is really what someone ELSE will pay you.

Manu Ginobili 2016 playoffs:
6.7ppg, 2.7rpg, 2.5apg, 42.6FG%

Oh, man.... If Manu won't be as good as THAT.....
Spurs

Those numbers don't even describe how much demege he made, teams taking advantage on his game, not a playoff team type player anymore!

[Beaverfuzz]

What would you backseat GMs use the extra $5m or so that Ginobili took to have made a dent in the GSW conference le prospects in 2017?

I'm sure there's quite a few players who'd play for $5m that are the same position as Ginobili. They're out there.

Keepin' it real just keepin' it real, tbh.

That ST double standard

Those numbers don't even describe how much demege he made, teams taking advantage on his game, not a playoff team type player anymore!

Waiters and Rivers are licking their chops right now.

[Phenomanul]

Manu is worth $10 mil a year easily. Glad he's coming back, Ginobili and Parker will now have to assume a huge leadership, teaching role as the vets.

It's pretty bad that fans of other teams "get it" and ungrateful so-called Spurs fans don't.

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL Pop and his thank-you contracts.

[spurraider21]

They're thanking him for taking peanuts leading up to this tbh

[Crazymaddopeyo]

Yeah, Manure sacrificed so much....

Spurs were paying him $14,000,000 in 2013 when he blew the finals for the team. Some say he's still turning the ball over in Miami.

How the are you a Spurs fan? Seriously go bandwagon a team, I know it's in you.

[Oh, Gee!!]

But most people at the end of their careers don't expect a pay bump just because they did turn down bigger money elsewhere.

He turned down bigger money again this year, I heard.

[Canyonero]

Manu once again taking a pay cut. Such a GOAT player

[K...]

To be fair, parkers contract takes up consequential cap space, whereas Manu isn't. So not apples to apples

[Pocho La Pantera]

He´s worth a lot more, he was offered like 19 million from Denver or whatever

[Capt Bringdown]

Some say he's still turning the ball over in Miami.

That's a great zinger.

[Kikoluna]

They are giving him a well deserved thank you or farewell retirement money. He earned it. Long live 2005. Kyle getting over a million is what is truly de able.

[Texas_Ranger]

this offseason is

[TheGreatYacht]

That's a great zinger.

appreciate it

[poeticism707]

Worth every cent. Looking forward to seeing Manu play. Manuuuuu!!!

This.

10m is nothing in the new cap..

[kobyz]

Manu fans really are the worst, so selfish and lack dignity!

...because threatening to take your own life is such a dignified act.
